THAT MopE. RALsToS MATTER. - II
seems the parties are not satisfied with
the action taken by the district clerk
in releasing Mrs. Ralston's property
from the execution, in the Cherokee ma
tion VS.. RalstOn case. The sheriff had
just released the property by virtue of
an order from the circuit clerk, where
upon the district judge issued an
order notifying Mrs. Ralston that he
would hold special court at Echo,
1T, on the 2Sth, TO determine If she
had secured said release by fraud.
A PERSISTENT BURGLAR. Tho house
Of Enoch Sutherland was entered four
times by burglar within few weeks,
the last visit having been made
February 9th. Little OF value was
taken, the party, (supposed to be Jim
Johnson) contenting himself with
something to eat. Each invasion was
made during the day time while the
family we're absent. Johnson, who is
now in Colorado, used TO work for
l.. b. Bell. Some time ago he was
thrown from horse and received an
injury in the leg. Erysipelas set in
and Mr.. Sutherland, through compass
sion for the fellow, took him home and
cared for him until he got well, even
paying for the medicine used. This is
his reward.
